4096 Web-Smart Colours

What are web-smart colours?

With advances in technology and the prevalence of monitors displaying High
colour (65,000 colours) and True colour (16million colours), the limitations
of the Web-safe palette (216 colours) became evident.

The Web-smart palette was therefore developed. It provides 4096 colours
and is composed of pairs of identical hexadecimal digits from 0 to F (e.g.
#5522EE).
